Whether that's a sane > thing to do is another question. This seems to be quite sane as long as "conflicting" files are really the same. Alternatives I can think of do not seem to be palatable in practice. The only problem is that these "swallowed conflicts" should be accounted for all providing packages so that removing one "owner" is not producing various 'missing' for what remained. This is clearly not a yum issue. Directories often belong to multiple packages and this happens even if you never heard about multilib at all. Maybe not always the best possible packaging but it occurs quite frequently. Still those directories do not vanish under your feet if there are still referenced somewhere. So there are some precedents :-) and this is actually less evil then a situation when a package has files in some directory, so this directory gets created, but nothing owns it; think what happens on a removal.
